We went here for dinner with no prior expectations. We ordered the tasting menu when we couldn't decide on only 1-2 dishes. We were not disappointed.
The service was amazing. The manager oversaw everything and kept it running smoothly. Sitting by the open kitchen, we could see that not a single dish sat before the waiter took it to the table.
The tasting menu was spot on. Each dish was excellent. Basically, they choose 1-2 items from each part of the menu per course per person. For some courses we had 3 dishes, for others, 2.
Even the desserts were thoughtful and not overly decadent, but just sweet enough.
I can't believe a place like this is in Midtown, in a hotel lobby, no less, but don't let that fool you or you'll miss out.
Very, very cozy with wonderful warm ambiance, exactly type of place where wine tastes even better. Nice menu, professional cooking, excellent attentive, respectful and pleasant service.
In short an extremely fine representation of Basque cooking, wonderful Spanish restaurant.
Fabulous! I highly recommend the tasting menu with wine pairing. Our trip to NYC was made memorable with our visit to Ortzi. Best oxtail I've ever had; not gristly, highly flavorful and nice and sticky on the teeth. Service was the best we had during our week long stay. Treat yourself... You won't be disappointed.
Great food! We just returned from a trip to Barcelona, and my husband and I were looking for Basque food in the city to relive our incredible trip. Service was quick and attentive, and the food was delicious. The patatas bravas here might have been even better than what we had in Spain. It's all a little pricey for the portion sizes, but the food really is delicious. Can't wait to come back soon.
Came on a Saturday around 5 PM before a Broadway show. Service was quick. The waiters were attentive with frequent water refills and removing empty plates. The tapas were delicious.

I cannot recommend this place enough! We were lucky enough to stumble upon it as we were walking in New York looking for somewhere to eat and it has been probably my favorite meal ever! I have always been a lover of both Spanish and Mediterranean food and who would’ve known that there is a whole separate category called Basque food that combines both of those! I was in heaven! Beyond the food, we had amazing service! The atmosphere is really quaint and swanky; it’s just an all around dinner place to go!
I have a pretty severe gluten allergy and the staff was more than willing to help accommodate me. All of them seemed so knowledgeable as well!
